Default Whats up with my trans

Hi Guys,

I was strechin my legs the other night, put the trans in 3rd(drive) and rolled it on pretty good,when the tach got to about 5K the trans just totally disengauged like nuetral, I pulled over and then started again and it shifted fine going into fourth and even lockup. temp was at 167. What do you think happened. Mods in sig.

John

Checked and changed about 800 miles ago,not by me so I will look into this. I haven't seen any leaks, but I will def. check it. The trans worked perfectly after that, although I'm not going to hit it again until I find the cause, but the rest of the way home (20 miles) temp stayed at 167 and trans shifted fine.

The reason I said that is with the high rpm and shift of the fluild if it was low it could have emptied the pan momentarily , so I would check that first
